Description Peer Frank 2009-09-11 10:24:08 UTC

Version:           1.12.1 (using 4.3.1 (KDE 4.3.1) "release 163", KDE:KDE4:Factory:Desktop / openSUSE_11.1)
Compiler:          gcc
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.27.29-0.1-pae

kmail does not remember anymore when mail server fails authenticity check and one accepts the certificate forever without being prompted

Comment 1 Peer Frank 2009-11-16 16:00:10 UTC

bug still there in version 1.12.3 (KDE3.3.3). 
Each time I send mail via this mail server I am prompted to accept this certificate. In spite of selecting "forever" I'm prompted again after kmail fetches mail the next time. I select again "forever". Then no more "Server Authentication" prompts in spite of mail checking on this server until I send the next message. Looks like sending a message deletes the "accept certificate forever" flag.

Comment 2 Mark van Rossum 2010-01-01 17:56:45 UTC

I also see this. (fedora 12 with kmail 1.12.4)
A very annoying regression!

Comment 3 Mark van Rossum 2010-01-01 20:54:19 UTC

Hey

It seems fixed after a restart after updating to

kdepim-4.3.4-2.fc12.i686
kdelibs-4.3.4-3.fc12.i686

Comment 4 Kevin Funk 2010-01-09 11:27:44 UTC

Not fixed for me using this setup:
Qt: 4.6.0
KDE Development Platform: 4.3.85 (KDE 4.3.85 (KDE 4.4 Beta2))
KMail: 1.13.0

Comment 5 Peer Frank 2010-02-15 14:01:46 UTC

KMail Version 1.13.0 on KDE 4.4.0 "release 223"

I've now ran into this bug after a long period when everything was OK.  I'm running KMail on a P4-2.4GHZ / Mandriva Linux Cooker / XFCE / Compiz-Fusion. I have:

<<<
Version 1.13.1
Using KDE Development Platform 4.4.1 (KDE 4.4.1)
>>>

I should note that it doesn't happen when running KMail on top of KDE4+Kwin. Everything seems perfectly fine there.

what do you mean with on top of KDE4+Kwin ?

I'm running kmail 1.13.1 on the latest and greatest KDE4.4.1 rel 227
and still have the problem when I enable Encryption: using TLS for secure mail download + plain Authentication Method

It means that when I run KMail on top of the standard KDE 4.4.1 desktop (not XFCE) using the KWin window manager, then it doesn't prompt me to whitelist the certificate, and everything works fine.

OK.

Hello,

I have found that the first time after new installation of my system (and KDE), the option "accepts the certificate forever without being prompted" works fine. But when the certificate on the server change, then I start being prompted again and this option doesn't work at all. When I reinstall all system options works fine again, but only till the next change of the certificate. 

I assume that at the first time the certificate is stored somewhere and the I am not prompted again. But when the certificate changes, kmail is not able to overwrite the once saved certificate. 

I think that deleting those saved certificates can help. Do you know if I am right and where they are saved?
